The conference OF the Radical Union opened at

largest possible extension OF local government to
Ireland. subject to the supremacy Of the I'M
periai parliament and the protection of the
Protestant minority. The delegates, rep
resented all parts Of Great Britain The
loae OF the speeches was bitterly anti-Glad-
stonlan. 1t was the first representative untonist
meeting where irreconcilable hostility to the

MORE EVIDENCE IN THE PEAK MURDER TRIAL
In the Peak murder trial in Mount Holly " j.
yesterday, Mrs. Witcraft testified that Peak said
to her, 81 hope Katie will get well and clear I'D
this matter, as it will take great load on me-
She must have got worked up over my refusal to
marry her, and shot herself. She asked me to
marry three times, but refused, because she was
my cousin"
Vim. Poole one Of Peaks intimate friends, testi-
shooting that be had been drinking quite heavily
ut Mount Holly, and volunteered the statement
that he and Katie were married. Poole DOUBTED
this, whereupOn Peak offered TO produce the GER
tificate. Amos Johns u, a farmer, living near the
scene OF the tragedy, and who first discovered
Katie lying unconscious by the roadside testified
that whel she was removed to Peaks house
Barclay bent over her and asked how She was
hurt, but she made no answer. She was conscious
at the time, and opened her eyes several times
Coroner Carr testified that he heard Katie that
Peak shot her. The revolver ldeatitied as Peaks
had but one cartridge exploded. DR.. X. E. Brown,
the attending physician. testified that the hair or
flesh OF Katie Anderson were not burned around
the wound. When Peak asked her who hurt her
she made no answer. When Katie was removed
TO her own room at home she said: cit was a
wicked thing TO shoot Inc. was shot at the end
OF the lane 10y Bart Peak, and II you bring him
here I'll tell it TO his face"
''Do you want to see Bart?" asked the doctor.
"No," answered Katie; II never want to see him
again."
This conversation was overheard by Officer Bo-
dine and Officer Carr, who were In the next room.
Justice Clevenger, Of Mount Holly, testified that
he did not marry Peak and Katie Anderson, as
Peak had said. To-day the defense will be begun.
